Preparing for the Public Charge Regulation: Resources for ECE Stakeholders
The Trump Administraton's public charge [[link removed]] regulation will go into effect on February 24, 2020 in every state except for Illinois. This rule makes it harder for low- and moderate-income immigrants to obtain long-term status in the United States. The regulation is designed to be confusing—research and media reports demonstrate that families are already withdrawing from important services out of fear. It's important for early care and education stakeholders to know the facts and share accurate, up-to-date information with the families they serve.
These resources will help early education providers confidently answer questions about public charge:
